Suck to be you. I was too broke for a discman. I had a portable cassette player I bought in Tijuana that played just a little too fast and stacks of bootleg cassettes I bought from the dude with a huge briefcase of them out back behind the church on Sunday.

    There was probably a small hole in the back of your Walkman. Behind it was a slot you could turn with a screwdriver to adjust the speed.

    This would work for a few years until the motor commutator would go a bit dodgy.
